Date for Superclássico rematch announced

The South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) has announced a new date for the Superclássico rematch between Brazil and Argentina.

The two teams will play the second leg of the Superclássico das Américas on November 21 at the Bombonera in Buenos Aires.

The original match was due to be played in Resistencia at the Centanario Stadium but it was abandoned by the referee after a floodlight failure which meant that both teams had to be led off the pitch after half an hour.

The announcement confirms the rumours that the rematch would be held at the home of Boca Juniors after AFA official Germán Lerche hinted that this would be the case yesterday.

The Bombonera has hosted internationals clashes before, having held the first leg of the Copa Libertadores final between Boca Juniors and Corinthians.

Brazil retain an advantage from the first leg which they won 2-1 thanks to goals from Paulinho and Neymar.
